Cigar Review: Oliva V Double Robusto

Very consistent and even burn with no relight issues at all. The burn overall has been ok but was tight at times. Definitely a medium to full strength cigar and the strength hits you right off the bat on the light. The first few puffs were heavily spicy and dry and earthy in flavor which complemented each other nicely. The spice gave way to a lighter coffee flavor and some very light chocolate notes on the finish during the first third of the cigar. It also lightened up to a medium body cigar for about the first half.

About half way through, the cigar transitioned to a dryer, earthy flavor with a very spicy finish with some leathery notes. The smoke has a nice ceder scent to it. The finish of the cigar moved back to a more full strength. This stick would pair well with a creamy stout or porter or a nice, light pinot noir. Overall, a very enjoyable smoke.

As a female cigar smoker, I’ve been following Smoking Cigar Girl’s reviews pretty regularly. So, I really appreciate them. I’ve smoked this cigar once before and thought it was okay, not great. I’ve had one sitting in my humidor for about six months now and I’m curious to see if it becomes great with time.
